If you want your people to give their all—to the vision, the mission, the values—hear their myth, and help them live it.

Whether you're leading strategic change for a team or your own life, you can supercharge the effort by creating a system around six pillars.

When we open up our minds, hearts, and turn our own story over to the world, we create space for others to do the same. Openness magnetizes; inviting connection, softening fear, and building trust.

Leadership isn’t about the pop-culture traits: charisma, certainty, or control. It’s about what you do when no one’s watching and how you listen when anyone is speaking.

The antidote to frailty isn’t in a gym or a book. It’s in cultivating robustness; across mindset, metabolism, movement, relationships, and purpose. Robustness is the baseline, but we can aim higher yet: toward anti-fragility.

Everywhere we look, our culture provides surface-level symbology pressed onto reality. We can assume this is to soothe us, reassure us and distract us. But above all it's to sell us. If not an actual product, then a reality of their creation.

While awareness can lead to guardedness if we direct it outside ourselves, it can also lead to connection if we turn it inward. Oftentimes, we discover the security we seek isn't something that can be found in the world.

Real leadership demands holding a mirror to complacency and inviting people into the friction that leads to fire. This creative tension is where new strength, strategy, vision and resolve emerge.
